Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sin

She couldn't believe it - that he was an asshole, that he had simply changed somewhere down the road and changed his mind about her. He had saved her! They had slept beside each other and he had said that he... that he could never see her in a bad light. Whenever the days ticked by without his appearance she had that to remember, and never had her smile wavered while they were together - or rather, while she had thought that they were together. He had no explanation for her, he couldn't explain what she had done wrong - would only blame himself and she could see his heart breaking in his eyes. Whatever she had done, he had realized his mistake - and now she was hurting him wasn't she? By trying to fix a relationship that was just... gone.
Had she gone and fabricated it? Had she imagined how much he loved her?
"Alpine..." She would fill the silence for a moment, looking down when she could look at him no longer. "You aren't anything less than perfect. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you." She would take a breath, trying to force down the tears - but they wouldn't stop, even as she tried her best to steel her heart for what could possibly be the first time that she had to. Swallowing, she would dig her toes into the ground, before looking up at him - a smile on her lips despite the tears that shone in her swirled gold and blue eyes. "If you can't stay tied to me, there's just no changing that, right?" She would do her best to sound sincere, to be happy - happy for him, for his decision. He had made the choice, therefore it was right. To her, toward her, he could do no wrong. "Don't worry anymore Alpine," She had asked him what was wrong before he had told her any of this.
She hadn't expected for it to be her.
"You're free." She would close her eyes and smile, a small grin on her face despite the hollow feeling in her chest. He was free to do what he wanted - free to enjoy Valhalla fully, without the weight of another - of her - tugging him back with every step that he took. How long had she been holding him back?
With that, if he had nothing else to say, she would not force him to speak to her anymore. It would take time, but eventually she would find out where she had gone wrong with Alpine, where she had neglected him, why he had not been as happy with her as she was with him. But for now, all she knew - was that love was quite possibly not something meant for her - not when it was so easy for it to be one sided.
